Not sure what to say?

My Dad, he was constant. He showed up. We talked almost every day, I miss hearing his voice more than words can say. I thank him so much for his guidance, his work ethic instilled into me, and the quiet, steady way he loved my sister and I.

I am forever grateful to be his daughter. I carry his strength with me, and I will honor him by raising Evan to be the kind of man he was - steady, hardworking, and devoted to family.

To the moon and back, Dad.

So very sorry to hear this sad news of my old high school and teammates passing. Gary was always one of the good guys and will be missed by all that knew him. Prayers of peace and comfort for Gary's family. RIP my long time friend!

I’ll never forget him teaching me how to drive a stick shift—'four on the floor'—in that iconic green Chevy truck. He had a lot of patience that day, though his luck ran out when he gave me my first dip of wintergreen snuff. I ended up swallowing it instead of spitting it out, and let’s just say that was the first and last time I ever tried that!

I always looked up to Gary. I remember thinking I wanted to play football like him and Warren. He always made me laugh and was great about taking us hunting and spending time with us. The squirrel and dove hunts he took us on fueled my life long love of hunting and I fondly remember him coming to our house where we would ride horses and play football. As I grew older, I was always impressed by the fact that he really knew his business and with the reputation he had for excellence. He...

MY HEART GOES OUT TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF GRAY'S FAMILY. MY COUSIN WAS ONE OF THE SWEETIE PERSON YOU WOULD EVER MEET. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND PRAY HE IS OUT OF ALL THE PAIN HE WAS SUFFERING...GOD KNEW HE HAD TO GO BE WITH HIS MOTHER SO NOW WE ALL NEED TO PREPARE TO GO BE WITH THEM ALL....LOVE YOU MY CUZ R.I.P.SEE YOU ON THAT BEAUTIFUL ONE DAY CUZ SHELIA
